I Just Wanna Play The Older Nintendo Games

The eternal dance between Nintendo's legal department and PC gamers with emulators. Nintendo's like that one project manager who won't share documentation but expects perfect results. Nintendo: "Stop emulating our 30-year-old games that we refuse to make available on modern hardware!" PC Gamers: "Watch me run Super Mario 64 at 4K/144fps with ray tracing while you're still figuring out how to make an online service that doesn't lag like it's 1998."

The guy almost slipped with "Emu..." before realizing that uttering the full word "emulator" might summon Nintendo's legal department like some kind of corporate Beetlejuice. Smart move backing off there, buddy – those cease and desist letters don't mail themselves!
